I'm always interested in the difference that such a small amount of ground coffee makes. I'm using the 22 gram Synesso basket with the Spong. If I put 22 grams in, I knock it down half way then put the rest in, tamp, I tend to get the extraction sitting at 12:00 or just after, which is fine, dark, syrupy flow. I changed the amount and what I did tonight to see what would happen. I put 21.6 grams in, I just piled the grind in without knocking it down until I tamped. The result was 11:00 and although still slightly syrupy the flow was light. Interesting though below is what happens when it settles, I still think it looks good, it's the Harrar/Rononi blend that I did.
